Watercolor Flowers

Early '90s. Watercolors.

I did this painting sometime during the early 1990s. Normally I have a reference photo or landscape, still life, or something that I refer to in order to create a painting. I always say I cannot create from my imagination, but I guess in some ways I can. This is just one of a few paintings that are very dear to me, since it was created in my mind. This makes me want to try watercolors again.

Landscape

Late 80's to Early 90's. 8-1/2"x11" Oil Pastels.

Normally I have a reference photo or landscape, still life, or something that I refer to in order to create a painting. I always say I cannot create from my imagination, but I guess in some ways I can. This is just one of a few paintings that are very dear to me, since it was created in my mind.

Pastel Tears

16"x20" Watercolors.

This is the second painting I've done in 9 months. Even though my mom is no longer here, I believe she is still supporting me from above. I think that's the only reason I am able to paint without her being here. Like the last painting, there was no reference image. Second in the series.

Petal Tears

16"x20" Watercolors.

This is the third painting in my "Tears" series. Like the last two paintings, there was no reference image. Third in the series.

My Impression of Tarkay's "Fame"

I love Tarkay's creations. The colors are so vibrant and the drawing style so loose... very unlike what I usually do.

"I ordered a drawing of mine and my mom’s
Virtual Magic Kingdom avatars for my mom
for Christmas. This game will always hold a
special place in our hearts and JM captured
them perfectly! It was everything and more
than I could have ever imagined!"

Silent Tears

16"x20" Watercolors.

It's been almost 9 months since my mom passed, and since I've drawn or painted anything. I finally was able to pick up a paintbrush and create something. This first piece of artwork was extremely hard to work on, because I'm missing my biggest supporter... my mom.
I usually draw from a reference image, but this painting had none. She was created inside my mind. She's the first in a series.

Flower Escape

12-6-16. 8"x10" Watercolors

My Daughter's Tattoo

February, 2013.

I designed this tattoo for my daughter, and she finally had the real thing done. She wanted the tattoo simple and sketchy, and she loves how it turned out.

The camera is for her passion for photography; and the butterflies... it's said that whenever you want to harm yourself, you should draw a butterfly on your body. If you harm yourself, the butterfly dies. If you don't, the butterfly lives and eventually flies away. My daughter's butterflies will never die. <3 It's wonderful to have a tattoo that you love, and even better when it holds a great deal of meaning.

Blue Girl

2014. 9"x12" Watercolors.

This is a painting of my daughter.
Reference photo is a self-portrait that she took of herself. :)
